Overview
USB is the ubiquitous interconnect standard of choice for a wide range of computing and consumer applications. Innosilicon provides a comprehensive set of software drivers to support commonly used USB peripherals. In addition, our established USB ecosystem—comprising USB silicon suppliers, design IP houses, and verification and testing vendors—helps reduce development and production costs for USB host and peripheral manufacturers.
The USB 3.2 PHY is a highly programmable module that converts high-speed serial data into parallel data, compliant with the PIPE standard. The PHY supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, delivering SuperSpeed data rates of up to 20Gbps. Streamlined production testing is enabled through built-in self-test (BIST), multiple loopback modes, and boundary scan. Its modular and flexible design ensures compatibility with the latest USB Type-C configurations, integrating all necessary I/Os and ESD protection in a single drop-in block. Like all Innosilicon IPs, our USB 3.2 solution is fully customizable, enabling seamless integration and optimization for your specific application requirements.

Innosilicon, a leading IP provider, offers a complete PCIe 5.0 solution stack that includes both PHY and controller IPs. Although both layers are crucial to achieving a fully compliant and high-performance PCIe interface, this paper deep dives into the technical challenges of PHY design, highlighting insights drawn from real-world design margins, receiver robustness, and advanced jitter analysis in the context of Gen5 systems.
In recent years, emerging industries such as AI, Internet of Things, 5G, and intelligent networked vehicles have flourished, and the high requirements for performance have greatly increased the scale and complexity of chips, constantly challenging IP limitations.
UniversalFlash Storage (UFS) was created for mobile applications and computer systems requiring high performance and low power consumption. These systems typically use embedded Flash based on the JEDEC standard eMMC. UFS was defined by JEDEC as the evolutionary replacement for eMMC offering significantly higher memory bandwidth. The standard builds on existing standards such as the SCSI command set, the MIPI Alliance M-PHY and UniPro as well as eMMC form factors to simplify adoption and development.
In this paper, we introduce a new high-level, dataflow programming language called C~ (“C flow”) that further increases productivity by raising the level of abstraction from behavioral descriptions, while overcoming the limitations of C for hardware design. We present the syntax and semantics of this language, and the framework that provides hardware and software code generation. This paper illustrates the benefits of using C~ for hardware design of a IEEE 802.3 MAC, synthesized for FPGA and for 90nm CMOS technology.

Since MIPI and MDDI standards both target interfaces to cameras and displays on mobile devices, are two separate standards really needed?
